' Unhappy with its lack of respectful representation in Hollywood movies, Turkey has put its own spin on espionage and made its most expensive movie ever Valley of the Wolves which follows an intelligence agent as he travels to Iraq to avenge the death of a Turkish soldier.

... evidence that Colby had tried to protect Helms, but was overruled by his own legal advisors. Helms would not have believed it.) Was Colby a Soviet agent?The spectacular claim implied if not quite made in A Look Over My Shoulder is that William Colby, while Director of Central Intelligence, was a Soviet agent. Readers of espionage thrillers, whether or not they are now (or have ever been) employees of the Agency, will remember that the nightmare haunting John Le Carr 's George Smiley was that the head of his secret foreign intelligence service was in the employ of the enemy. It is well-known that this nightmare came near enough to reality for ...

... don't remember seeing it in the Post. Notes [1 ] Even so, this last bit must have come as something of a surprise to the good folks at the FBI, where Felt was No. 3 to the Bureau's Director, J. Edgar Hoover. The Bureau is alleged to have some small responsibilities with respect to counter-espionage and anti-terrorist operations. [2 ] Among them was the very interesting Yeoman Charles Radford. He was one of the undercover agents in the Pentagon spy-ring that came to be known as 'the Moorer-Radford Affair'. You may recall that the Yeoman ransacked the briefcases and burn-bags of the President's National Security ...

... ' Chief Calipari's assets. ( [7 ] ) Irrespective of the extreme 'messaging', and assuming that the Americans now control or have dismantled Chief 'Calipari's' network, what amounts to little more than cut throat recruitment ( [8 ] ) will not sustain the US in Iraq indefinitely. There are no shortcuts because the basis of the espionage relationship is the deep emotional attachment that exists between 'good' case officers and 'good' agents/sources. ( [9 ] ) Above all, the espionage relationship is about friendship. It has special status, particularly in the Middle East, because it can override family ties. Developing it requires standards, time, patience, respect ...

... anxieties about the well-being of British troops has led to widespread public recognition of intelligence failure, without balanced apportionment of blame. This has served to obfuscate one of the real problems: over the years 'intelligence' has come to be defined by separate 'products' such as weapons inspection, which have a predetermined objective, when 'good' espionage can be exclusive, but is holistic, never singular. Other obfuscation includes the threat to government, including spooks, posed by 'do-it-yourself' diplomacy and/or justice: e.g . the campaigns mounted by Ken Bigley's family, prior to his execution in Iraq, to secure his release; or that of ...

If this is true, Armstrong has uncovered the most elaborate intelligence operation (and done the greatest piece of espionage detective work) I have ever read about.(2 ) Into the CIA's anti-Castro underground In Armstrong's hypothesis, after Russian-speaking 'Harvey' defected, adopting Lee's identity, Lee Oswald remained in the US, disappearing into the CIA-funded, anti-Castro world.

... , and therefore the numbers that can be reached, do. One reason why the US were so daft to rely on satellite rather than human intelligence was because they tried to change the rules, they did not respect intelligence history which would have told them that they couldn't, and therefore failed. Because of the explosion of media outlets, espionage is much more exposed. For example, we can now see the evidence of 'facial cloning': despite the generation-gap, compare the faces of ex-SIS spooks Lord Browne, Richard Tomlinson and the more urbane looking Crispin Black. 13 Non-spook Sir Harold Walker, former Ambassador to Iraq, is an example of ...

When these eventually disintegrated, what remained was stuck up on the classroom wall. As a result, children could pick out the words 'Tide' or 'Omo'. Praised by their teacher for doing so, a whole generation associated this approval with a country they did not know and might never visit. Thirty years earlier, the teacher's football-mad father played ...
